    I'd have them checked for cracks and then get a price to deck them, drill the steam holes (assuming this is for the 400 engine), valve grind, and new springs to handle that monster cam you're talking about in your other post. I think you'll find that these iron heads will not be satisfactory for c/r in the 11-12.5:1 range that the cam you're looking at requires. See the spec's at: CRANE 118131 SBC BILLET ROLLER CAM TR-242/3867-2S-6 $359.95 BUY ONLINE

    In my humble opinion, you may want to rethink this build. These heads and the Crane 118131 cam in a 400 is just not a good combination.
